I always feel like I don't *know* what I am talking about when it comes to all these meds, diagnosis and such. But I have thought this: I think that the brain is an extremely complex frontier (I know Star Trek thinks it is the final frontier, but I think the brain is). Anyway, I also think that over time, we have gotten farther and farther away from the original perfect design. Now we are ALL suffering with some sort of chemical imbalance, illness, diagnosis, whatever you want to call it. ALL of us (on the board and otherwise). Some of these "problems" have been given names, others have not. (Like, my husband (who I love dearly) has a major problem with connecting his brain to actually DO what he knows NEEDS to be done) But no one has named that one yet and so he doesn't get to hang out on this board. My point is, the brain is not what it used to be, or what it was meant to be and we will always be working at trying to get things stabilized and hoepfully, better, in spite of our environments. Some of us more than others.

PS: please know that I DO LOVE this board! You guys have compassion where it otherwise does not exist and that has blessed me in ways I can not explain. Thank you!
